​PSALM 119:9
WHEREWITHAL SHALLA YOUNG MAN CLEANSE HIS WAY BY TAKING HEED THERETO ACCORDING TO THY WORD.
WITH MY WHOLE HEART HAVE I SOUGHT THEE O’ LORD LET ME NOT WANDER FROM THY COMMANDMENTS.
THY WORD HAVE I HID IN THY HEART THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST THEE.
BLESSED ART THOU, O LORD TEACH ME THY STATUTES.
WITH MY LIPS HAVE I DECLARED ALL THE JUDGEMENTS OF THY MOUTH
I HAVE REJOICED IN THE WAY OF THY TESTIMONIES, AS MUCH AS IN ALL RICHES.
I WILL MEDITATE IN THY PRECEPTS, AND HAVE RESPECT UNTO THY WAYS.
I WILL DELIGHT MYSELF IN THY STATUTES: I WILL NOT FORGET THY WORD.
 
In thee O’ Lord do I put my trust, I will not fear what man can do. I will arise in the morning unto your righteousness and unto the knowledge of thy holy word. I have made it a priority to seek after your Holy Spirit with my whole heart. I am driven minute by minute and hour by hour with thy Zeal O’ Lord to do thy will. My very being desires the depth of thy precepts. Teach me thy will and the very pleasure of your presence. Pour upon your people the spirit of faith to walk in thy love, mercy, truth, forgiveness and let miracles break forth in their lives to get them to believe that much the more that all things are possible through Christ. O’ Lord let us prioritize your will and purpose. Cleanse us that we are found worthy when you return. Let us be without spot and without wrinkle. Move us by your Holy Spirit to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil. Loose your Holy Ghost upon us that we may know the way of righteousness and walk therein. Guide us in your light and let us not stumble at the trials that come to purify us and build us in your virtue. Show us your glory and teach our hands to war in a righteous way while contending for the faith, knowing that the battle is not our own but belongs to you. Teach us your names that we nay learn to trust. Strengthen us to overcome the cares of the is life and to search the very deep things of God.

• A prayer of a God Chaser

Acts 17:16-18​

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore, disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, what will the babbler say? other some, he seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
 Paul had gone forth to do the Lord's will and to disperse the Gospel while waiting on his fellow servants to arrive. There was a need for reinforcements. Many had received the Gospel, but there were also many adversaries. While Paul waited, he was able to recognize the spiritual atmosphere of the city. The “spirit was stirred” because everyone seemingly had been given to idolatry. We today must take down the idols and the high places, and restore the Word, the truth, and prayer back to our schools and communities. The Lord is not slack with His coming, but he has shown himself patient and long suffering towards us. He said he comes that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength. Put your burdens and cares on the altar of your heart. Pray the prayer of faith. Confess your faults one to another.

We have failures or sometimes we call it shortcomings because as we live we are learning the Lord's names. We learn to trust him as a provider. We learn to trust Jesus as a way maker. We learn to trust him as a healer and a deliverer. We trust him as joint-heirs that he will perform His word in our lives.

When you love the Lord with all your heart, it is easy for your spirit to get stirred because it is after God's heart. With that stirring, there must be an outlet. Jesus was so stirred in His spirit to see that they made His house a den of thieves, and began to turn the tables. Paul, too, was stirred because the Jews were allowing such things. He went to the leaders and devout persons and they treated him as if he was one that was strange asking “What will this babbler say?” When all the while, he was attempting to show them the way of eternal life. He wanted them to know Jesus and the power of His resurrection.
 Acts 17:27-30

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us. For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of our own poets have said, For we are also offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent:
The Lord has shed His blood, has forgiven us, and has pleaded that we stay grounded in His love. The adversary trembles when we surrender completely and walk in the love of Christ. He trembles when we have the joy of the Lord as our strength...And that adversary trembles when we put on the whole armor, and in unity contend for the faith with praise, worship, and fasting/prayer. We don't need the Lord to give another warning about idolatry and the abominable things. The celebrity idols that we have put up on the TV commercials are coming down! The abominable rainbow flag is coming down! The ungodly temple of Baal that has been erected at ground zero wit our tax dollars is coming down!

II Kings 23:1-3

And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord. And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

Choose Jesus Christ and stand on your most holy faith. The Lord is coming and His reward is with him. There will be many to perish for failure to keep the words of the covenant, and to simply trust in the Lord and do His commandments. Do not fear. Do not be sorrowful for those walking in unbelief. Do not waver. Do not compromise your inheritance for the tares and workers of iniquity that refused to take heed to the holy precepts. Everything concerning falsehood and strange gods must be put away or you will encounter swift destruction! #KEEPSEEKING #KEEPPRAISING #EATTHEWHOLELOAF

​Chasing after him
 
This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it. O’ taste and see that the Lord is good and His mercy endureth forever. Thank God for life, health, and strength; victory over the adversary and victory over sin. Thank God for his overcoming power and the joy that renews in the spirit man, minute by minute and hour by hour. It is so amazing how the Lord shows up just when the adversary attempts to kick you while you are down and stir up all sorts of conspiracies, then he gives new, deeper revelation to his holy Word just to show you, His strength. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Although enemies and foes did encompass me, they stumbled and fell. I looked for my enemies and they were no more. I hear in the spirit the question being asked, What shall I do now? Seek the face of God. Thank God for another day of grace and mercy. Because of His holy Ghost we move and have our being. He has show himself to be a strong tower and a deliverer. He is a way maker. Ask of His Spirit and He will freely give. He is a refuge and a present help in the time of trouble. Thank God for his purified love toward his chosen. Though the clouds have rolled in, they cannot block the joy in my heart. I have a praise to raise this afternoon and if I don’t praise the Lord the rocks will cry out. No matter the adversary tells me, my confidence is in the word of God that is irrefutable, meaning the adversary cannot turn the truth into a lie. The word cannot return void. His sheep hear his voice. Thank you for the still small voice that says I am with you always even until the end of days. Seek him and live, I say. Repent, I say. Hear the Word of the Lord Jesus, I say. Know him for yourself, I say. Look back over your life and remember every threat of the enemy, every shape and form, with failed relationships, misunderstandings from family and friends, death, loss, unable to pay bill, bad report from the physician and what did the Lord do? He made a way! He provided! By His stripes you are healed! He did it for you! He worked it out for Me! He showed that by His arm his strength is revealed to those who wait on Him. When I didn’t know what to do, He was there! When I didn’t listen and went in the wrong direction… When I came short of the glory…when I came short of my own expectations…He was there!!! With his hand stretched out…take His hand and walk with Jesus. Walk through his Word. Believe it! Trust him today for righteousness. Stand boldly on the testimony that he has established in you! #faith
Hebrews 11:6
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

​I John3:2
BELOVED, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: BUT WE KNOW THAT WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.
AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF EVEN AS HE IS PURE.
WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN TRANSGRESSETH ALSO THE LAW: FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
AND YE KNOW THAT HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS; AND IN HIM IS NO SIN.
WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVERSINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWETH HIM.
LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. HE THAT DOTH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.
HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, FOR THE DEVIL SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING. FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.
It is needful that we embrace our sonship authority given unto us as joint-heirs of the promises of God. Jesus made us in his likeness for his good pleasure. Therefore, it is our reasonable service to walk according to his Holy Spirit and showing forth his fruits. He should be seen in our walk and in our holy conversations. We don’t know what we shall be, but we have assurance that if we carry his Spirit then we shall appear even as he is. Meanwhile, we should strive daily to put on righteousness so that his likeness is what is seen to those, “seeking the kingdom of God and all of His righteousness.” All other things shall be added. Therefore, if purity is required, then purity is there for dispensation because we have hope in Him who is pure. These scriptures give us an extra dose of hope because the adversary does not want us to stand in our sonship authority and know who we are and the power we have in Him. If we abide in the Lord’s love and his righteousness, then are we justified and we sin not. So therefore, let us not be deceived by the adversary. If we love the Lord with all of our hearts, strength, and might and do his commands, then he counts it as righteousness. Those who intend to do contrary to the Lord Jesus’ will are of the adversary and there is not compromise or middle ground. The Lord has stated that because of the need to distinguish between the holy and profane, the Son of God has been made manifest by His Spirit and he will destroy the works of the devil. The key word here is destroy the works of the adversary, the wicked one. This is not a time for Holy Spirit filled people to sit on the sidelines. Our weapons of warfare are not carnal, but powerful and mighty. We have already overcome by faith, yet, this word must come to fruition with our actions of obedience. No longer will be charmed. We will not be flattered. We will not be caught unawares by false brethren. We will not take down and allow them to trample the gospel within us. We will not tolerate the abominable things in the sight of God. We will contend for the faith and abide in the Lord’s Word. #KEEPFIGHTING

Romans 13:1-5
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus. Thank God for his tender mercies and his loving kindness. So grateful for the privilege to bring forth the word of salvation. Great victories have been won. Great victories indeed. The Lord has shown himself mighty in battle.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisted the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive unto themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good and thou shalt have praise of the same.
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject not only for wrath, but also for conscious sake.
We have repented and have asked for the Lord’s forgiveness and mercy toward us. We must continue to stay grafted in to the vine of mercy, love, and truth. Adversaries are upset, but the Lord Jesus has showed himself faithful and a God that keepeth covenant. The warfare is ever so prevalent so we must continue to trust the Lord has our rock and fortress, a present help in the time of trouble. Abide in sound counsel, instruction, and implement his will. The Lord has been our righteousness and just judge, therefore, let us stay the course. We must perform our vows that we made unto the Lord when we said would walk in his precepts and do his commands. We mustn’t take down for the adversary or sin. The high places must come down every abominable thing. The word will be restored as head and Jesus will lead and guide us by his Holy Spirit. Therefore, embrace the restoration process. #keeppraising #keepseeking #keepcontending #keepgrowing

OPERATIONS OF THE SPIRIT

​II PETER 1:4-8
WHEREBY ARE GIVEN UNTO US EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: THAT BY THESE YE MIGHT BE PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, HAVING ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN THE WORLD THROUGH LUST.
AND BESIDE THIS, GIVING ALL DILIGENCE, ADD TO YOUR FAITH VIRTUE; AND TO VIRTUE KNOWLEDGE; AND TO KNOWLEDGE TEMPERANCE; AND TO TEMPERANCE PATIENCE; AND TO PATIENCE GODLINESS; AND TO GODLINESS BROTHERLY KINDNESS; AND TO BROTHERLY KINDNESS CHARITY.
FOR IF THESE THINGS BE IN YOU, AND ABOUND, THEY MAKE YOU THAT YOU SHALL NEVER BE BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
These are the continuation of the refining process where the Lord encourages us to stay on the potter’s wheel. He has given us access to exceeding great promises, these promises are given by his Holy Spirit. He has pleaded with the true believer to receive of his Spirit and that all we have to do is ask, seek, and knock. These precious things confirm our divine nature in him, that spiritual nature that the adversary has come to stiff through corruptions of this world and the cares of this life. Nevertheless, the Lord says take heed those who think they stand lest they fall and be diligent to seek after his Spirit because within his manifest presence is virtue that builds us in the faith and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many people speak great swelling words, but deny the power of God. However, when you know Him, you are in unity with his Spirit. There is a godly reverence, you fear the Lord. With that fear is temperance. That self-control says I’m going to wait on the Lord and be of good courage. To the persecuted saints it says I will fret not myself of evildoers, neither be envious of workers of iniquity. Though they spread themselves as a green bay tree, I looked for them and they were no more. The temperance states that when our obedience is fulfilled, then the Lord Jesus will seek out a vengeance on our behalf. That self-control is the birthing of patience of the saints and within this patience and faith is the manifestation of the miracles, signs, and wonders which confirms the faith and edifies the body of Christ on higher levels. With such experiences of the purified love of Christ are we then able to shower that same brotherly kindness one toward another, perfecting that which may be lacking among the members of the body. When the spirit reigns in us in such a way, we shall never be barren, but shall bring forth much fruit in abundance, some thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold. #keeppraising #keepseeking #keeptrusting #keepcontendingforthefaith
